And that is one of the problems with this recent group of Candidates.  The only thing that's going to sway the swing voter is not a fire and brimstone Bush Hater. And him blaming stupid fringe stuff like Mad Cow on George Bush just isn't going to work.  And I'm pretty polarized against the man and I can see that this one just doesn't fly.  So your undecided is just going to look at all this finger pointing as negativity and team/party line politics instead of REAL reform.  This is why Dean concerns me.  It doesn't take a team of speech writers, advisors and pundits to know, he needs to smile more, appear that he'll be able to work with a house and senate that is controlled by Republicans and keep the flag waving hawks from revolting in the streets.

Diplomacy: Saying "Nice Doggie" long enough to grab a sufficiently large and pointy stick.

Also:  Holding a stick and a t-bone at the same time.
